Marvel's SDCC '26 Drops: New Venom Ongoing & Mary Jane Limited Series

Marvel just locked in two major launches for fall 2026, both announced at San Diego Comic-Con. The headliner: a brand-new Venom ongoing series hitting in October, reuniting Eddie Brock with the original alien symbiote. Charles Soule is writing, with Tommaso Bianchi on art—a pairing that signals Marvel's serious about this run.

Following close behind in November is a Mary Jane Watson limited series that pivots her into new territory. Ashley Allen is writing with Phil Noto handling the visuals, and this time Mary Jane is stepping into the role of a producer. That's a meaningful shift from her usual positioning, suggesting the miniseries is building something fresh around her character.

Both series land in that sweet spot where Marvel is clearly banking on established IP but also testing new angles—Eddie's symbiote reunion and Mary Jane's move into production work both feel like they're chasing something beyond the obvious play. If you've been waiting on either character to get momentum again, these are the books to mark.
